Synopsis (short abstract) This strategy directly contributes to the State of Palestine’s approach to integrate in global market systems through focusing on the adaptation of national monitoring and food safety systems with the requirements to join various relevant international conventions, treaties and organisations. Additionally, it emphasises the commitment of the State of Palestine to build a comprehensive system - based on optimal international standards, as well as scientific procedures and rules to monitor and ensure food safety. This strategy is also connected the Palestinian Development Plan 2017-2022 which is reflected in the National Policy Agenda in various sectorial and cross-sectorial strategies. Specifically, it is aligned with the 2017-2022 sectorial strategies for agriculture, national economy, health and education, as well as the strategy of the Palestinian Standards Institute such that it complements some of the programmes and activities of those strategies and contributes to the achievement of their goals.

    The FAO Country Programming Framework (CPF) is a planning and management tool which outlines how FAO can best assist a country in meeting its development priorities, setting out jointly-agreed, medium-term priorities for Government-FAO collaboration. In mid-2016 the FAO WBGS Office started the process of developing the CPF 2018-2022 for Palestine. The CPF was elaborated, building on the information collected in the Palestine Context Analysis, in close collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture (MoA), through a widely consultative process that engaged other ministries, government agencies, independent authorities, private sector, civil society, international organizations and international resource partners. This process aimed at identifying country needs and priorities in order to ensure that FAO’s assistance to the Palestinian people is relevant, coherent, and focused on feasible and achievable results considering FAO’s delivery capacity and resource mobilization potential in Palestine. The CPF sets out four priority areas for FAO partnership with the Palestinian Government for the period 2018-2022 consistent with national development priorities and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The CPF contributes to achieving many Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and specifically SDG2 – Zero Hunger. It also builds on the development of the successful collaboration between FAO and the Ministry of Agriculture (MoA) over the past decade, bringing together lessons learned from the implementation of FAO’s Programming Framework 2014-2017 with innovative international best practices.

    Creating an Enabling Environment towards Food Safety and Economic Growth in Palestine - GCP/GAZ/013/SWI 2020

    Ensuring consumer protection and food safety and quality is essential to safeguarding the health and well-being of Palestinian people; as well as to accessing domestic, regional and international markets. However, constant threats from animal diseases and plant pests and diseases put the food safety of Palestinian consumers at risk. These problems are compounded by the limited capacity of local authorities in monitoring, inspecting and controlling the food value chain, and in regulating and providing Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) services in the framework of a sustainable national SPS system. In addition, small-scale herders, particularly in Gaza Strip, are adversely affected by a lack of resources and essential services, as well as having limited access to animal health services, which are indispensable for protecting livestock from disease outbreaks. The project aimed to enhance the design and implementation of better policies and regulatory frameworks for public sector institutions, and to improve the provision of public services related to plant protection, food safety and quality, as well as animal health.
